This
morning at 9.am UST, Bismarck North Dakota USA recorded a temperature of minus
32.5C, minus 26.5F, which is 25F colder the North Pole which recorded its
temperature at minus 17.3C, minus 1F.

These kinds
of temperatures are brutal and with the blizzard conditions North Dakota has
suffered this week it has been truly treacherous

Brutal cold
lingering across the northern Plains thanks to an invasion of Arctic air. On
Wednesday night, Dickinson, North Dakota, experienced an AccuWeather Real Feel
Temperature® of minus 39, while in Casper, Wyoming, the actual temperature
plummeted to minus 33. And it will get worse, if you thought it was cold in the
US this week well, next week is going to be even colder as the polar vortex
returns to North America. Reuter’s reports, forecasters are sending chills down
some spines with a prediction that much of the northern half of the United
States could see frigid weather next week similar to life-threatening lows the
polar vortex brought to parts of the country in 2014.

How its looking for Canada and the US

Anticipation
of a freezing blast began to build this week when weather maps and forecast
models showed similarities between next week's system and one that developed in
January 2014.

The
southward shift in the polar vortex in 2014 brought the Midwest some of its
coldest weather in two decades. Icy conditions snarled travel and thousands of
flights were cancelled or delayed.

The coldest
weather next week is expected in the Midwest and North-eastern starting around
Tuesday, according to forecasts that show temperatures in the single digits in
some cities.

"The
air mass on the way for the middle of December is likely to be substantially
colder when compared to that of this past week and this weekend,"
AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Pastelok wrote on Thursday.

Temperatures
from the Northern and Central plains to wide swathes of the Midwest are likely
to drop by between 5 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit compared to temperatures this
week, according to AccuWeather.
